The cottage is an attractive double fronted semi-detached Victorian property, offering well proportioned accommodation in a lovely position on The Street in the heart of the thriving village of Farmborough. It is within a few minutes level walking distance of the primary school and well away from main road traffic.
The ground floor accommodation is approached through an entrance hall, with stairs leading to the upper floor. To one side is a dual aspect sitting room with a period fireplace, on the other a well proportioned kitchen/dining room furnished with a good range of units and built in appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a lobby (ideal study area) leading to the garden and a utility room which in turn leads to a shower room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms with the main bedroom being of particularly good proportions together with a family bathroom.
Externally there is unrestricted off street parking to the front of the property and a level enclosed garden to the side, enjoying views towards the parish church.
